Maybe it’s a good thing there’s 3300 miles between us*
Because not only did I have a lot of fun in Toronto with Laura (more of our adventures on her blog), but we now have matching shoes.
Predictably we didn’t manage to leave the Fluevog store after just trying them on, although that in itself was fun, what with trying on multiple sizes and prancing around and taking photos of our feet in the mirror.
We didn’t end up quite this matchy, matchy. Laura was planning on getting them in green but they were sold out and I argued that everyone needs at least one pair of red shoes. It’s a good rule.
Not only am I in love with these shoes, and the ridiculousness of buying matching ones, but they are so comfortable. I’m not usually a fan of heels but I wore these all day on Thursday (the day after we bought them), while traveling (=lugging lots of luggage around) and all weekend in London. Still comfy!
Now I’m back home, caught up on my email and catching up on laundry. Thank you for all of the safe travel wishes everyone, the traveling was tiring but totally easy and uneventful. I had a great weekend in London too, so I’m so glad I did that even if it did make the journey home more exhausting it was totally worth it.
*You know I don’t really mean that, right? I wish we were closer, although I dread to think of the madness that would ensue.

I LOVE the shoes - shame they’re not available in the UK, I’m looking for some cute grey ones at the moment!

Once upon a time the exchange rate from Canadian to US dollars was in my favor. Is it a good thing it’s not anymore? Because I NEED those red ones and I shouldn’t spend the money…
Next holiday you should come to New York and let us show you a good time!

Those shoes are quite awesome. I’ve heard of Fluevog, but havent seen them in stores. I know a friend of mine buys them because they make them for ladies with large feet!
I’ve been on a shoe kick lately. I still own more yarn than shoes though :)

I will have to have a pair of the red shoes, they are too cute.
I finished Otto and he is on his way to Salmon, Idaho today, a good place for a salmon loving polar bear. Pictures are on my blog if you want to take a look.

Love, love the shoes. How did the two of you meet and become friends? I think it’s great to have a friend in another country, whom you can visit!

I was looking through a new knitting book yesterday, I think it was Knit So Fine, and the model for a skirt was wearing those exact shoes in green! I immediately thought of you ladies. Those shoes must deeply appeal to knitters of all stripes!

You should submit photos of yourself with your new shoes to Fluevog - they have a section on their website devoted to “Flue Shots”!

I used to be a dedicated Fluevog shopper when I was in living in Toronto - including a pair of red boots which fulfilled my red shoes quota :D

Great shoes! I love ‘vogs. The whole concept of round toes are brilliant! I mean…shoes that are shaped…like your feet! Making wearing heels actually comfortable!
